Curious George (2006) Episode Scripts

N/A - Seed Trouble

(THEME SONG PLAYING)
George!
NARRATOR: George liked eating
at Chef Pisghetti's place.
A monkey could
always count on getting
a good meal there.
PISGHETTI: So,
you like my tiny,
tasty torta? Huh?
Uh-huh.
(MUNCHING AND SLURPING)
That's because I use only
home-grown ingredients
and that's my problem.
(SIGHS)
Oh?
(MUTTERS IN CONFUSION)
PISGHETTI: Well, you remember
my little rooftop garden?
Where I grow all of
my fresh veggies. Eh?
Well, it's not
big enough to keep
all my customers fed.
But I had an idea
to expand.
Look, look!
(BOTH GASPING)
I've never seen
anything like that.
Is it even possible?
(SIGHS) No.
The laws of gravity,
they can be so unfair.
Oh!
(EXCLAIMS EXCITEDLY)
(CHATTERS)
That's right!
We could put a garden
on our roof and help you.
Benne!
You do this for me
and I'll make special
eggplant Parmesan
a la Georgio and friend.
(EXCLAIMS IN DELIGHT)
(SLURPS)
We need seeds
to plant a garden.
You see?
The seeds are
in these packets.
Corn, peppers,
tomatoes,
watermelon,
cucumbers
(EXCLAIMS)
And
(EXCLAIMS IN DELIGHT)
(CHUCKLES)
Eggplant.
(CHATTERS EXCITEDLY)
(CHATTERS)
You don't plant eggs
to get eggplant, George.
Aha!
(CLUCKING)
Yes, chickens come from eggs,
but you don't plant 'em.
You see,
eggs come from chickens,
then chickens
come from eggs.
Huh?
(SIGHS) Uh
Another day maybe.
(EXCLAIMS ENTHUSIASTICALLY)
Aha!
(ELEVATOR DINGS)
Thanks for letting us
use the roof!
Every roof should
have a garden.
NARRATOR: George and dirt?
When would that Man with
the Yellow Hat ever learn?
(DOG GROWLING)
(GEORGE GRUNTING)
Let's see,
we'll put melons here
so they can spread out,
corn here,
tomatoes on these
trellises and
(GRUNTS)
(MYH GRUNTS)
(CHUCKLES)
(GIGGLES)
Say George,
why don't you
get the seeds out?
(CHATTERING)
(EXCLAIMS)
(HUMMING)
(COMPASS COOING)
(EXCLAIMS)
NARRATOR: George couldn't
wait to tell his friend
Compass about the garden.
(CHATTERS)
(EXCLAIMS)
Compass wished George
would let him eat
those tasty seeds.
(PIGEONS COOING)
And so did Compass' friends.
(GEORGE EXCLAIMS)
(SCREAMS)
(PIGEONS CONTINUE COOING)
Phew!
The seeds were safe now.
(EXCLAIMS IN DELIGHT)
Ha! Aha!
MYH: Okay, George,
time for the seeds.
We'll start
with the eggplant.
(CHATTERS)
Um, you didn't dump
all six seed packets
in there, did you?
Uh-huh!
(GROANS) Stop!
(EXCLAIMS)
You can't plant
different seeds together!
They won't grow right.
Oh!
NARRATOR: Hmm,
mixing seeds might make
interesting new plants.
(GASPS)
Well, George,
each type of seed
has different needs
and must be planted
just right.
Oh!
PISGHETTI: Mamma Mia!
I made you a special
veggie pizza!
Extra guava,
the way you like it.
(LAUGHS)
(GASPS) So fast!
You've already
planted everything.
Um
Well, chef,
actually we
Ah, the melon mounds,
soon your hills
will be alive
with succulent fruit.
And tomatoes.
(CHUCKLES)
Ooh, drink deep,
my rosy darlings.
Someday you will be
in my marinara.
(CHATTERS)
(CHUCKLES) I must go tell
Nettie the good news.
You both make me
so very happy! (LAUGHING)
Oh, boy,
I hope the grocer
has seeds left.
Sorry, George,
I'm all cleaned out.
Oh!
(SIGHS)
Hey! Professor
Wiseman's a genius!
I'll go ask her
if there's anything we can do
and meet you back home.
Uh-huh.
NARRATOR: George hated
to disappoint the chef.
He always looked
so happy on his box.
(GROANS)
There had to a way
to tell the seeds apart.
Maybe different color seeds
produce different plants.
Aha!
Aha!
(EXCLAIMS)
NARRATOR: The smallest seeds
fell through that bowl
with all the holes in it.
Huh?
George wondered
if what worked for yellow
would work for
brown and white.
(EXCLAIMS IN DELIGHT)
Sorting by both
color and size,
George ended up with six piles
of different seeds.
(GEORGE CHATTERS)
There were six packets too!
George had unmixed
the mixed up seeds.
(EXCLAIMS ENTHUSIASTICALLY)
Now he could
plant the garden.
(PIGEONS COOING)
But George didn't know
where to plant the seeds.
Which ones were the corn?
Which were tomatoes?
(EXCLAIMS IN FRUSTRATION)
(GASPS)
(SCREAMS)
And he forgot about
those hungry pigeons.
(SIGHS)
Nobody could tell
what would come from a seed
just by looking at it.
(SPITTING)
Ah!
Those watermelon seeds
matched the seeds
in one of his piles.
(EXCLAIMS)
(HUMMING)
That's going to be
one crazy salad, George.
(CHUCKLES)
(GRUNTS)
Hmm.
There were seeds
inside the pepper
(MUTTERING)
and they matched
a pile too.
(EXCLAIMS)
Ah!
It happened again
with the cucumber,
the tomato
(EXCLAIMING)
The eggplant
Mmm?
Ooh.
Aha!
And even the corn.
George, Professor
Wiseman has a whole
book about seeds!
(CHATTERS EXCITEDLY)
MYH: Wow!
(LAUGHS) Well you
don't need my help,
you've got a monkey.
(CHATTERS)
Well, I'll be
(COOING)
(GEORGE HUMMING)
(EXHALES)
That's the last one.
What should we do
with the extra seeds?
(CHATTERS)
(EXCLAIMS)
(PIGEONS COOING)
NARRATOR: George and
The Man with the Yellow Hat
took excellent care
of the roof garden together.
Um, George?
(CHUCKLES)
(CHATTERING)
(COOING)
NARRATOR:
Until at last the vegetables
were ready to be picked.
Everyone,
please thank my friends,
for the delicious vegetables
you're eating tonight.
(ALL AGREEING)
(CHUCKLING)
For you, eggplant Parmesan
a la Georgio
and friend.
Mmm, so good.
(CHATTERING)
NARRATOR: They say
the best meals come
from a chef's heart,
but sometimes, they come
from the roof of a monkey.
